Topic: [SOLVED] partition with ext3 kaput

Hi

I dont know if this is the same problem like http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13777 , but I think yes.
I resized ext3 partition and it is now "damaged".

#fdisk -l -u
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders, total 312581808 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Re: [SOLVED] partition with ext3 kaput

Did you save a copy of the gparted_details.htm log file?
If so then please post it here.
If not, can you describe as best you can what actions you performed with GParted?

Which version of GParted or Live CD did you use?

Re: [SOLVED] partition with ext3 kaput

First operation occurs no problem (made partition smaller), after it i moved free space under next primary partition and created new ext3 filesystem.
The problem report was from fsck, somethink like partition size is bigger than physical size. I didnt know how to save it when i have this problem with disk...
Version was Gparted 0.5.0-3

(sorry for horrible english)

Re: [SOLVED] partition with ext3 kaput

The explanation helps to explain how the error occurred.

Can you try to run the following command from a Live CD?

e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1

Re: [SOLVED] partition with ext3 kaput

error message:
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 23681818 blocks
The physical size of the device is 22145602 blocks

I already repaired it. In ubuntu rescue mode was possible to manualy mount /dev/sda3 (why?). So I .tar.gzipped whole partition and copied to external disk. After it was umount, mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3, mount and untargzip. It takes very long time, but my computer now works fine.
